Activities at Lancaster Grange Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Reminiscing using Technology
Residents really enjoyed reminiscing about their childhood and where they used to live. Using our I Pad tablets, they went back in time to see what home looks like now, especially for Julio who loved researching his home town of Boston in the USA.
Winters Day Walk
Residents at Lancaster Grange really enjoyed a sunny January afternoon walk in the lovely garden areas. They all wrapped up well and embraced the fresh air, which helped stimulate their emotional and esteem needs.
New Years Eve Fun
Lancaster Grange staged a murder experience on Orient Express. They has fun playing colourful characters. The residents loved all the fun and the drama which was finished off with some mulled wine.
